Foxconn G31MV-K LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Cheap price

Cons: Doesn't work
- Random reboots, locks
- Can't even get to CMOS setup now..

Other Thoughts: This board worked for about 2 weeks, although It had very minimal usage as I have 2 other PCs. I started having random reboots or it would just get in a a reboot cycle and never be able to go in windows. Shuts down by itself.. Tried with different memory, one dimm vs 2 dimms at once ect.. Its very random, now I can't even seem to get into CMOS setup..

Pros: Solid feeling motherboard...

Cons: Motherboard will not support any cpu over 65w, purchased this board for a cheap server machine threw in a p4 chip. 84w machine fails boot and displays error message. Also, first mobo arrived doa. But, this happens.

Pros: Did not have a chance to find one...

Cons: First motherboard i bought from NewEgg that is DOA!

Other Thoughts: Asked for Refund not Replacement, i wont risk for another chance...

Pros: The speed and daily operations of this board are very good for the price. It's small and fits most cases which led me to purchase it. And I like a socket 775. Drivers are no problem.

Cons: The first one I purchased was a bad board. The bells rang, the whistles blowed, the lights lit, but it had no video. An expansion card didn't help so I had to get an RMA. Newegg was good on that point.

Other Thoughts: This isn't my first Foxconn board. I've used several for replacements and most of the time I have good results. The price is usually better than the others and is always comparable. The quality is good for the price too.

Pros: -Cheap
-up to 4 GB of memory.
-Gigabyte Ethernet

Cons: -Nothing

Other Thoughts: this is a great motherboard!
I installed it and bootd it up with no problems.
Can even do some basic gaming with a video card installed.

Pros: None

Cons: It died within 3 days of use!

Other Thoughts: Stay away from the board

Pros: What pro

Cons: Was dead on arrival

Other Thoughts: Cheap

Pros: arrived ontime

Cons: when i removed the cap from the cpu socket i noticed that instead of the usual socket i am used to i see pins just like on the bottom of my cpu , there was no way to insert my cpu and lock it down without bending every pin on the cpu and the one's on the socket , i never have seen this before , i have built other systems before even ones with intel duo core and never had this problem the gigabyte mobo that i used was not like this one , i am not sure why there are pins instead of holes to insert the cpu and foxconn is of no help they just keep repeating the page to go to and see the supported cpu's , my cpu is supported but is not compatible becouse it also has pins just like the socket.

Other Thoughts: i will never buy or wast any more of my money on this brand nor will i wast my time on another one.

Pros: Installed fine in a standard ATX case.
Offers good value as long as you know what you are getting (feature wise)
Native IDE controller (inherent of the chipset) means I was able to keep both SATA ports open by using an IDE HD & DVD-RW (wouldn't have been a concern if it had more than 2 SATA ports).
Value* - I was able to get this on sale with free shipping, so the value was exceptional.

Cons: My only cons would have to be lack of expansions slots, fan headers and SATA ports. As far as layout, the internal USB headers and SATA ports could could a problem. I was aware of all of these factors ahead of time, so none of this was a surprise.

Other Thoughts: Despite the fact that the internal USB headers are next to the PCI-e 16x slot and the SATA port is in line with that same slot, I was able to install a dual slot NVidia 8600 GT Silent video card. The card is short enough not to interfere with the SATA ports and the heatsink is high enough off of the motherboard to run the USB cable underneath.

Pros: Very stable motherboard,Gigabit LAN,onboard Video, PRICE

Cons: I wish there was one more sata port, because I run two hard drives and have a dvd drive. I have to swap sata cables to run the dvd drive, but not everybody builds there PC this way.

Other Thoughts: E5200, 4gig 800, 250G and 320G WD harddrives, 9600 GSO,420W PC power and cooling, running windows 7/ XP Pro. This broad overclocked the E5200@2.5 to 2.87 just by using the bios stepping options and it was rock stable at every step. I use this computer for school, but did use it to game on a little when my gaming computer went down. I was able to play COD5 online with decent settings. I would buy this board again. The onboard video will give you max resolution on a 20 inch monitor 1650x1050.
